I have recently install Pic2Shop on my HD2 WP7. When I try to use the camera to scan the barcode on a product - the image is blurry. Pic2shop then says that it can not read the barcode, and to focus the image - it suggests to hold the shutter button half way down. I find that I can not do that on my HD2 with it triggering the shutter. How do you focus the camera on WP7? Anyone else run into this?
You cant until the developers fix this non focusing problem on our HD2 builds...
delete the app and wait
That's not right. Maybe with this barcode app you can't focus, but with the normal camera app its possible. Just change into camcorder mode, the focus will sharpen the picture, then change back to camera and take a photo, have fun!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's true but I take the pic quickly because focus blurs again slowly
unfortunately the app disables the cam mode
As a temporary measure until it is fixed you can always enter the code manually

Any chance to give macro mode or manual focus in camera movie mode?
This will be coming in the ICS update in March
Is there an option on Google Camera where you can manual focus the camera while recording? It's frustrating when the camera is out of focus for a good 5 seconds while recording.. If you can't, any good camera apps you guys suggest?
L Camera easily allows you to manually focus while recording

Hi,
I've been using Asylum Omni Rom 4.4.2 for a while and I haveve a problem with the camera on video recording. When taking photos, everything is fine with the resolution and aspect ratio. But when I switch to video mode, the view is like its zoomed in 2x or more. It feels like the default zoom level is 2x for this rom. I tried some different camera apps like, Google Camera, Camera Zoom FX and Snap HDR Camera, all was the same with video recording. Google Camera didn't even record and crashed when I started recording immidiately and needed to reboot the device to make it work again. Camera Zoom FX, didn't have a video recording mode anyways, and Snap HDR is the save with zoomed levels. I checked on Instagram video option and it was good with the zoom level and everything was fine.
Stock camera app for JB on n7000 var really good with videos. But all I want to know is is there a way to change the default zoom level for an app, or camera. I even tried the Service Mode to look for it but couldn't find anyrthing related to camera or such.
Would it be possible to tweak the phone to record video with monochrome camera? Maybe it would perform better for night recordings.
Also another stupid thing is that in BW mode you can't have raw mode... You are right we need video mode for BW camera !
